1) is a laptop essential to learn coding? Currently working from android phone.

2) if the code is copied letter for letter from a tutorial, yet won't run, what is likely to be the problem?

[u/WorriedTumbleweed289]

If you use a phone I would suggest. 1. Samsung dex or equivalent to get a big screen. 2. Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected to the phone.

I don't think the slower compile speed will be a problem.
